About this place

Köprülü Canyon

Köprülü Canyon is a 14-kilometre river gorge and white-water rafting hub reached by an 84 km, 1 hour 23 minutes drive from Antalya Airport.

Köprülü Canyon is a 14-kilometre gorge carved by the Köprüçay river northeast of Antalya, best known as the region's white-water rafting centre. A Roman-era humpback bridge still spans the river, and the mountain ruins of ancient Selge lie above, all within a national park of cypress forest and turquoise water.

The transfer from Antalya Airport covers 84 km and takes 1 hour 23 minutes, running east past Serik before climbing into the canyon on winding mountain roads to Beşkonak, the gateway village for the national park. With rafting bases scattered deep in the valley and only infrequent seasonal minibuses reaching the area, most visitors treat Köprülü Canyon as a full day trip from Antalya.

The valley road runs alongside the river, lined with rafting bases and restaurants built on timber platforms over the water. Paths down to the river are uneven and can be wet or muddy underfoot, so this is not stroller-friendly terrain. Sturdy, closed footwear that can get wet is essential; sandals are not enough.

Practical information

Trail Difficulty
Uneven riverside paths and timber platforms; moderate footing needed, not suitable for wheelchairs or standard strollers.
Time Needed
Allow most of a day to combine rafting, a riverside lunch and a walk to the Roman bridge.
What to Bring
Closed, quick-drying footwear, a spare change of clothes, and sun protection for the exposed canyon road.
Seasonal Note
Rafting runs mainly from spring to autumn, when river levels make the rapids safe to navigate.

Why MovXtra for your Köprülü Canyon transfer?

4 key benefits

Benefit 1

Fixed price, no surprises

Your Köprülü Canyon fare is set before you travel. No meter, no traffic surcharge, no haggling at the roadside, the price agreed at booking is the price you pay.

Benefit 2

Licensed and insured

MovXtra is a TÜRSAB-licensed operator (licence no. 16177) — every transfer is insured and regulated, so your airport-to-canyon journey runs under proper commercial cover, not an informal arrangement.

Benefit 3

Canyon road confirmed before you leave

Köprülü Canyon National Park is reached via a mountain road through Beşkonak village. We confirm your rafting operator's drop-off point before you leave the airport, so the driver goes straight there.

Benefit 4

Driver at your pickup point, no searching

Your driver is waiting at the address you nominated when booking, be it a hotel, a villa, or any other address in the region. Coming off a plane instead? They are waiting for you in the Antalya Airport arrivals hall, ready for the 84 km run to the canyon. Collect your bags and go, no taxi queues, no fare negotiation.

Private transfer vs. taxi

A taxi to Köprülü Canyon runs on the meter, so the fare climbs with every switchback and any detour to find your rafting base, and the price is unknown until you arrive. Your MovXtra transfer is agreed in advance, covers the full 84 km route, and includes the return leg once you book it.

Planning Your Return Trip

Because Köprülü Canyon is a full day out, your driver and vehicle stay with you rather than a shared timed pickup. Tell us your planned finish time after rafting, lunch and the Roman bridge, and the same car takes you back to Antalya Airport or your hotel.

“We booked a private transfer with MovXtra before arriving in Turkey, and the whole experience was excellent from start to finish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Communication via both email and WhatsApp was quick, friendly, and professional. We were a group of 14 people, and during our holiday we used their services for several transfers. The vehicle was always clean and comfortable, the driver was friendly and helpful, and every journey went perfectly. 🚐👌 There is honestly nothing we could fault. We will definitely use MovXtra again on our future trips to Antalya. Highly recommended if you are looking for a reliable, professional, and reasonably priced private transfer service in Antalya. 🙏🇹🇷”

“I used Movxtra for both my airport transfers in Antalya — from the airport to my hotel and then back to the airport. I was very satisfied with the service from start to finish. The website is very easy to use, with clear and fixed prices, and there is no need to pay in advance. You simply pay the driver after arriving at your destination, which I found very convenient. Their WhatsApp communication is also excellent — they respond extremely quickly. After making the booking, I recommend contacting them directly on WhatsApp, as it makes communication even faster and easier. Both drivers were punctual, professional, and friendly. The vehicles were clean, comfortable, spacious, and had good air conditioning. I would definitely recommend Movxtra, especially if you want a reliable airport transfer without having to pay upfront. The fixed price and payment upon arrival make the whole process simple and stress-free. Very good service and definitely a company I would use again!”
